Day 120 of 2015

Today I am grateful for the whisperings of the Spirit and for things working out so well that you have to sit back and just be in awe at the awesome multi-tasker the Lord is. I felt prompted to go do something early this morning and was kinda confused because it wasn't a big deal and was impressed with how it was staying right at the front of my brain because with mild ADHD I have a hard time remembering and concentrating. So I followed through with the prompting and found that it had nothing to do with the task at hand but everything to do with a special boy who needed my help. He had been locked out of his school and since he has a mental handicap could not think his way around the problem and get back in the building. He was all alone and scared. Coming around the corner I recognized him immediately and the Lord let me know that that was why I was there. I got out and helped him into the school. I am so grateful I listened and that the Lord helped me to remember and to concentrate so that I could help this boy. He is so sweet and has the best smile. He lights up any room. I was grateful to be an instrument in the hands of the Lord to help someone who couldn't help themselves.

God Loves You!

Day 119 of 2015

I am very grateful for so many family members that share my same religion and view point. It makes life easier and makes me feel more united to my family. I am grateful the Lord has surrounded me with those of my faith. I am doing a family project and asking for family members to bear their testimony of Christ and His Gospel. I have so many I can go to that I know are willing and comfortable in their testimony to participate. This makes me very grateful for all the great people the Lord has blessed me with.

God Loves You!

Day 118 of 2015

Today I was able to calm my little girl when she woke up with aches and couldn't sleep. The Lord prompted me what to do (I really need it in the early morning hours) and she went back to sleep. RJ also gave her a blessing. That calmed my heart and helped me not to worry so much. The Lord spoke peace to me and to my little girl. We both got back to sleep.

God Loves You!

Day 116 & 117 of 2015

I thought I posted yesterday's. Sorry! Yesterday I was grateful for the Lord inspiring me to say no on a matter when I felt, out of duty, I should say yes. It was the right decision and it made me feel so free and at peace. I am very grateful for the experience I had in learning to say no.


Today I was able to do much in the house and out. I was given strength and endurance. The Lord has blessed me with a working, strong body. I am so grateful for all I am able to do for my family with the Lord's help.

God Loves You!

Day 115 of 2015

I am grateful for all the rain. I love rain and we need rain. I am grateful for the pleasant way the Lord came up with to water our earth and make things grow.

God Loves You!

Day 114 of 2015

Today I was able to watch the sweetest play of the year. Tonight was the annual special needs mutual play. It is the best play I see all year. Those kids are so sweet and the Spirit is so strong every year. I loved it. I am so grateful the Lotd made me a part of the lives of these special spirits.

God Loves You!

Day 113 of 2015

Today I just know that God loves me. If you think about this deeply it is a miracle for all of us everyday. We are not the most obedient of creatures. We are by nature rebellious. This has to be very frustrating for our Father. Yet, He loves us everyday and gives us hope everyday. He never takes a day off or walks away because of disappointment. As long as we let Him be, He is there. That is a miracle.

God Loves You!

Day 112 of 2015

Today I was able to go to the temple. I love the temple so much. I am so grateful the Lord provided the way that I could go and enjoy His house and have peace for a time.

God Loves You!

Day 111 of 2015

Today my dad came to a program my daughter did for school. I was very grateful. Things like these are not up his alley. It really made me very happy inside and touched my heart. I am so grateful that the Lord prompted him to come. It meant a lot to me and my daughter. The Lord loves a joyful heart and mine was definitely joyful.

God Loves You!

Day 110 of 2015

Today I was not happy. To an extent I still am not. I hate Monday's. Getting back into the swing of things without RJ by my side is hard. That sounds really pathetic and maybe I am but I love having him with me all weekend. I love Fridays because they mean that we are all together for the next two days and I have RJ with me all day. No texting or calling, I can just walk to where he is and hug him or talk with him. So I hate that first few minutes of the morning when I realize he is at work. Also you have all the weekend to clean up after. Dishes, laundry, toys on the floor- they all multiply when you are not looking. Add to that some other responsibilities like neighbors or church callings or school and Monday's are just a hard adjustment. Today I was not in the best of moods charity wise and I realized I didn't want to be in that bad mood. I wanted to be more energetic about serving. I prayed and voiced my want and concern with the Lord and He was very kind and, even in my ornery state, He granted me some charity I was severely lacking. Was I as exuberant and excited about today as I could have been? No. That was a miracle not granted today BUT He did lighten my load a bit and make it less exhausting. He gave me the strength to carry on and not go crazy and even end the day with a smile. I am always grateful for answered prayers.

God Loves You!

Day 109 of 2015

I had very busy day today but it was a good day. It was a day full of the Spirit and promptings. I am very grateful for all of the communicating I had with the Holy Ghost today. Also, I got a chance to meet my new visiting teachers and I really like that. The Lord filled my heart and my head today and it was a good day.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 108 of 2015

I love it when simple little parenting moments turn into a gospel teaching moment. I had one of those today about the bad habit of lying. Me and my two oldest had a good conversation about lying and the effects of it but also what we can do when we make a mistake and what the repentance process is. I was grateful the Lord prompted me to pursue the conversation instead of just punishing the offender. I even pulled an RJ this time and had a scripture to go with it. I love when the Lord prompts good learning moments.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 107 of 2015

Today I was given insight and also had the thoughts all come together that I could teach a principle the Lord has been trying to get me to understand. Mirrors lie. They only tell the reality of what is in your head. If you have low self esteem, you are ugly. If you have high self esteem, you are great. Mirrors show you what you want to see, what YOU feel you are. God doesn't make mistakes. His ways are perfect and He can see us perfectly. If we see ourselves as He does,  only then we start to see the plan of salvation in the proper light. Don't believe the mirror. Believe God.

God Loves You!

Day 106 of 2015

Today I was saved from a nasty fall. My head is so foggy from my sinus infection that I am not really quick at all, at anything. I went to leave my house and walk to a neighbors house and stumbled on our steps (which I have never done before. I am the most sure footed individual that I know). As I am falling the Lord blessed me that my karate training kicked in automatic and I tucked and rolled when I fell so I landed softly and came away with bruised knees instead of it being a lot worse. I would have been dead weight and would have fallen hard. I am so grateful the Lord was with me in that time of need and used the Spirit to bring that knowledge back to my mind that had been dormant for years.

God Loves You!

Day 105 of 2015

I am very grateful for being safe today in the snow. Snow in April is not unheard of but is unusual. I don't like driving in it. I am grateful the Lord helped calm my nerves and helped me see ahead in the snow storm so I could do what I needed to today.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 104 of 2015

I LOVE my husband. I know you get sick of all the lovey posts and you wonder if they really have such a great spouse or if they are just saying it. Okay, maybe just I do. So, now I will apologize to all those who roll their eyes at my post. Anyway, I digress. I have had a very trying past couple of weeks because of a number of stresses in my life. Today my sweet husband was a God send. Literally, I believe the Lord sent him specifically to me. We fit together too well for it to be coincidental. Today he just held me. He didn't speak, didn't try to fix things, he just held me and rubbed my back. I could just feel the tension leave me as I leaned on his strength and love. I am so grateful to my Father for sending someone who is perfect for me.

God Loves You!

Day 103 of 2015

I am very grateful for the sealing power of the priesthood. By it I gained another mother to bless my life. She celebrated her 57th birthday today. I am grateful the Lord blessed me with her. I now have two mothers who love me and who would do anything for me. It is a wonderful feeling to be so loved. So, today I celebrate too. I celebrate another year with this wonderful woman. I have yet to meet someone who has not loved her on meeting her. Her smile lights up the room and she has a contagious laugh. I am grateful for her birth and for her giving birth to my husband so that I could marry him and have her for a mom. The Lord loves me and spoils me.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 102 of 2015

Today I am grateful for the power of the priesthood in our home. It is alive and throughout our home. I use it everyday and would not make it through a day sane without it. By having that power present and working in our home we can have strength to say and do things we might not otherwise have the courage to do. We had some friends over and we had a discussion. I am so grateful for the added strength and insight I gained from having that sacred power in our home. I am grateful for RJ who helps me keep the 'power bill' paid by his obedience and his faithfulness and respect of the priesthood. I love our house because with love and the power of the priesthood we have made it a home.

God Loves You!

Day 101 of 2015

My tender mercy for the day is that I had ordered some pictures for my students in Sunday school for a gift but ordered them late in the week. I was going to have to give them out a week from now instead of tomorrow. I was sad about this and lamented it to my husband. Well, today in the mail was the pictures, perfect and ready to go. I am so grateful for a loving Father who heard the quiet lament of one of His children and filled the need. We really do have the best Father.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 100 of 2015

Today I am very grateful to have full control of my faculties and be able to preform tasks to take care of myself and my family. The Lord has blessed me with the means to stay home with my kids and to be able to take care of them. I was with someone who has lost the ability to think for herself right now and watching her struggle made me so grateful to the Lord for His help in making choices in my life.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 99 of 2015

The talks from General Conference are now on the Gospel Library app. I am so excited! I am so grateful that in my lifetime the Lord has made it so quick and easy to go back over conference and relive and relearn everything. My memory is not stellar so being able to go back so soon after conference and have it all right there is great. By this I know the work is moving forward and the Lord loves us.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 98 of 2015

Today I was praying to find something and was telling the Lord how important it was to us. I had not even finished my prayer when I looked down and there it was. I am so grateful to a loving Father who listens and answers prayers. I know He loves me.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 97 of 2015

"Life is hard. It's harder when your stupid." John Wayne was very wise in this saying. I am so grateful today for the Lord's Spirit in my life so that I have a smaller chance of being stupid. I still have my agency to make correct choices but He shows me the path to take. I have been looking at some of my life choices today, big and small, and I have seen the Lord guiding me. Hind sight is 20/20 so I am very grateful for all the help I recieve everyday.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 96 of 2015

I am so grateful for all the gifts of the Spirit that I have been blessed with. They combine at times and help me do things that I could not do without the help of Heaven. I am grateful for the strength they give me and for inspiration I receive. I was having a conversation with a friend today and was blessed to have some of my gifts combine so that I could effectively say and get across what needed to be said. Life is so much easier with the Lord. I don't know how others do it alone.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 95 of 2015

Another wonderful day of spiritual feast. The talks during General Conference were amazing, as always. You can't go wrong when you are listening to men and women who are inspired of God. I am so blessed to have the opportunity to listen and enjoy all of Conference. I love the Lord. By listening to conference I know the Lord loves me.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 94 of 2015

I say this every six months but truly, I LOVE General Conference. I love listening to the prophets speak and I love feeling the Spirit and following the whisperings and having that renewal. I love it. I know the Lord loves me because we have Conference.

God Loves You!

Day 93 of 2015

I am so grateful for my Mimi. She is such a joy to talk to. The Lord has brought her up to be such a wonderful woman. She is a blessing in my life in so many ways and is so much fun to be with.  I was able to have some one on one time with her today.  I thank the Lord that He has chosen such a wonderful family for me to be a part of, my blood relations and those through my sweet, eternal companion. I know that because of the sealing power we are all one family. It is such a great comfort to know that.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 92 of 2015

Today I celebrate all the boys in my family. The Lord gave me three great gifts on this day. First, my sweet husband was born. I love him and could not imagine life without him. Second, I was blessed with my son. Most expensive gift my husband ever received. He brings an energy to this family that could not be replaced any other way. Third, another present given to my husband was our wonderful dog Duke. He is a protector and cuddley friend to my children and he is my good boy. The Lord has blessed this day numerous times over for me and I am so grateful.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 91 of 2015

My husband fixed our computer today. It has been broken for a while and he was able to get it all worked out. This makes me very happy because it is the computer I run all my stuff off of. I am very grateful that the Lord blessed him to know what to do and it is fixed for me.

God Loves You!
